Exploring the preciousness of water amid climate change and its impact on Country and culture, this exhibition of First Peoples works presents diverse reflections spanning moving image, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, and weaving. Including new commissions, it is presented across the Kingston Arts Precinct – at Outdoor Lightbox Gallery, G1 and G2 gallery spaces, and at Skybridge, where Judy Watson’s video water body features Aboriginal and scientific histories.
Artists: Nici Cumpston, Mandy Quadrio, Auntie Netty Shaw, Aunty Dyan Summers, Judy Watson, and Lisa Waup.
